    How do you know that a FR gets rejected? Do you get a notification? Or do they tell you they are rejecting you?

    No, there's no way to tell whether it was rejected or just allowed to sit in their queue because they feel bad about hitting the "decline" button.
    That's what i do.:ohwell:
    36 FR's with no message from people I never interacted with. I just let them sit there.

    OMG...the OCD in me screamed bloody murder when I read that! Just the thought of them sitting there.....*shiver*

    Hahaha, I had the same reaction :laugh:

    you desensitize... I have about 37 pending... ones that had messages that I think are awesome, but I already have so many that I am losing people... and I don't wanna reject them... so that red 37 glares at me, and the red banner on my home page yells at me to address the problem... and I try to ignore.

    It kinda makes me sad how I have to decline so many that its becoming an instinct to hit decline just out of habit

    FYI: Someone had to point this out to me. If you're using the app as opposed to the website, you won't see the person's profile message. Therefore, you will have never seen the note saying "FRs without messages will be declined", yadda-yadda. I verified this is true with the Android app. Since then, I'm a little more lenient with incoming FRs.

    This is actually not true. I use the Android app.

    If you tap on the request, it will take you to the message or say "no message provided."

    Just about all my FRs are rejected, so I just let people FR me because I don't reject anyone.

    it may be the sentence in your profile that you are mainly on MFP for entertainment - people think you aren't serious then....

    Just curious, but do you see any sentences in my profile that may be reducing the number of FRs I receive?

    Ohhh ... and ya gotta keep in mind what you may have said in your FR!

    For instance, if you say something like "Hi! My name is Noob! I'd like to ____ you in the ____! ... she didn't reject you hun ... she just never got it!!

    Try resending it with a modified "Hi! My name is Noob! I'd love to make sweet love to you in the forest!" ... she's sure to get it and accept you then!! :flowerforyou:

    After posting on this earlier that I had never had a FR denied, I must say...I'm pretty sure it just happened. I...I...don't know what to do...to the person who did not love me back, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
    *runs out of the thread crying hysterically*:sad:

    Hey, you managed to spell it correctly...

    ...so I'm assuming they can too.


    Random letters and a number...it's all the rage in MFP usernames.

    From http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Joffed
    "Having flirtacious behaviour with a member of the same gender before indulging into hot, steamy and passionate gay sex before one member licks the male penis for 17 minutes before claiming that they have been 'Joffed'"

    The fact that you don't like people is a plus in my book, lol.

    The best rejections are the ones who are friends with everyone but you and you get to see them everywhere and be reminded over ... and over ... and over ... about how you just weren't good enough for them ... it's like an emotional rollercoaster around here man!!! :sad:

    Srsly?!!!:laugh:

    I'm confused as to how accepting a FR is now considered a RULE.

    I'm also confused as to how declining a FR is now being compared to cyber bullying.

    A reportable offense, to be sure.

    I'm 99.44% certain that isn't what it means in this context...

    ...but it did make me laugh.

    Oh, and I thought it had something to do with Joffrey from the Game of Thrones. Like being beheaded or something. :huh:

    Well now I'm gonna send FR to some of you and in good conscience ye shouldn't decline or else I'll feel terrible and then you'll feel terrible for making me sit in the corner and rock myself gently back and forth to ease the pain of rejection :sad:

    I have had a few, i don't care. I already know they have their head where the sun don't shine, i don't want people like that on my friend's list.

    So... the only reason someone would reject a FR is because there's something wrong with them?

    Sounds legit.

    I understand some women don't accept men as friends that's cool.

    That's the only thing i get, how can someone judge determine anything about me without knowing me?
    A few caveats, they read my profile(if they did and don't want to be friends, i am cool with that), they seen me around on the forums and just don't like me, (i am cool with that too).

    If a girl sent me a FR and i didn't like her profile, i would accept her and tell her, "it looks like from your profile you're kind of ______________"

    Some person on the fourms i just don't like, if they sent me a FR, I'd just give them a fair chance.

    I didn't like jacwhite on the forums, but he sent me a FR and i consider him a good friend.

    The ethical thing to do is to give people a fair chance. If they don't do that, then... yes something is wrong with them.

    Um... you do realize that it's not actually considered offensive to ignore the occasional friend request from a complete stranger... right...? You aren't owed a "fair chance". That's why it's called a friend request.

    It does if he's doing it right.

    @1ConcreteGirl, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about FR messages. If you're in the app and want to look at someone's profile, you won't see their profile message. Therefore, you won't see if they have a note in there saying "FRs without messages will be declined".

    FRs with curse words are kicked out and not sent. Learned that several times over as I like to curse, lol.
